About this tour
When Ben from our team booked a private transfer from Alicante–Elche Airport to Playa Honda, it was a straightforward alternative to wrestling with taxi queues on arrival. The one-way service picks you up in a Premium car or minivan (up to 8 passengers) and hauls you the roughly 85 minutes to Playa Honda. The driver meets you with a nameplate, handles parking and tolls, and gives you a solid 60-minute window to clear customs and baggage without panic. It's a no-fuss option if you'd rather skip the rental-car desk or shared shuttle shuffle.
Highlights
- Meet-and-greet service means no hunting for a taxi rank
- Covers parking and airport tolls—no surprise add-ons at the end
- Flexible vehicle size: car or minivan depending on group and luggage
- 60-minute grace period to collect bags and get to the pickup point
- Infant and child seats available; specify ages when booking
- Flat per-person rate; works out reasonable for groups of 3+
- Suitable for all fitness levels—just sit and relax
What to expect
You'll clear arrivals, collect your bags, and head to the designated meeting point where your driver is waiting with your name on a board. The journey to Playa Honda runs roughly 85 minutes depending on traffic and time of day; expect motorway driving with little to break it up, so it's not scenic, just functional. The car is comfortable and air-conditioned, which matters in summer heat. Ben found the driver courteous and punctual, and there's no pressure to chat if you're knackered from your flight.
The driver knows the route and won't take you the long way round. Tolls and car parks are sorted upfront, so you're not fumbling for euros at a booth. One heads-up: if your flight's delayed and you're running late on luggage, contact their assistance centre—the 60-minute wait isn't indefinite, so communication matters.

Good to know
This beats queuing for a cab, especially if you're arriving with kids or lots of baggage. It's dead handy for families with infants (car seats provided), and groups of four or more often find it cheaper per head than a taxi. The flat rate removes haggling, and tolls are covered. Peak summer arrivals can see taxi lines stretching 30 minutes; this skips that entirely.
Luggage is restricted—one standard suitcase per person only; oversized or extra bags incur fees. If you're a light packer, no drama. Journey time depends on traffic, so aim for flexibility if you've got tight onward plans. Early-morning or late-night arrivals run the same price as midday, so it's not cheaper off-peak. Not an issue if you're heading straight to your accommodation, but it's not a tour or sightseeing run.
Book ahead. Specify the number of infants and children when you reserve so seats are waiting. Bring your flight details. The 60-minute meeting window is generous but not infinite—if you're badly delayed, ring their support line. Summer can mean traffic; budget extra time if you're heading onward that same evening.
